1852 ads from Fairman & Willard Machine Tool Mfg. Co. mention "Fairman's patent car wheel borer". This image accompanied an article on machinery for machine making. (A search failed to turn up a patent related to this machine.)
Relevant text from the article in which this image appeared...
The last representation we shall offer to our readers is the subjoined cut of an improved borer for the wheels or railroad cars. The extreme simplicity of its general arrangements is its most conspicuous feature, and the small space it occupies is another highly important consideration. It will chuck all sized wheels up to three feet in diameter, and can bolt on wheels of yet larger dimensions.
In the cut, a car-wheel is shown set on the machine; the upright spindle which passes through it contains the cutters, and is driven by the pulley shown on the left side of the machines, which gives to the spindle-lathes it rotary and alternate motion. |
